Synthwave/vaporwave in pop music
(lemmy.world)
All things "wave" music: synthwave chillwave vaporwave retrowave cyberwave darkwave dreamwave...
Yep. Almost all genres eventually provide influence to the stale pop formula. The hard thing is when the genre itself gets flooded by pop music and dilutes the scene to the point it becomes hard to find what you originally liked. That's what drove me out of the EDM scene. Loved stuff in the trance and house genres for over a decade from the early 2000s and then pop caught hold of it and slowly hollowed it out. Haven't been able to enjoy much of it since and moved on to other genres.
